Most Popular Patterns of the Year on Ravelry

Just for fun I decided to check out the most popular patterns published this year on Ravelry. If you’re looking for something to make with yarn you got for Christmas or Hanukkah or to get a jump on your New Year’s resolution to use that great yarn already in your stash, you might want to check some of these out!

Note: I don’t know what “most popular” is based on, because there’s something to it other than number of projects made. But searching most popular and published this year, this is the order they are found in.

Interesting notes: seven out of these 10 most popular patterns are shawls. Two are socks and one is a hat that makes a political statement. Two are free projects (two others are at the time of this writing, too). And two are by the same designer.

Have you knit any of these projects? Or queued them? I got the SlipStripeSpiral pattern and will probably make it as my next pair of socks. And I already had my eye on Building Blocks, but I think a lot of these are gorgeous and definitely worth your time. What do you think?
